A handmade Amish quilt makes a comfortable bed spread and a family heirloom to be passed from generation to generation. Each quilt is handmade with love by one of our fine quilters. The Lone Star quilt is a beautiful example of a traditional quilt pattern. It is made with shades of purple fabrics with a scalloped border edged with a dark purple binding. This specific quilt is initialed and dated and quilted with 264 yards of thread by one talented Amish lady named, Elizabeth Miller, to ensure consistent stitching. On a queen-size bed, this quilt will allow 20 inches of drop per side.
Measures 101″ x 114″ long.
Homemade quilts combine the warmth of a bed cover with a unique story told by the quilters from Lancaster County, PA. Every homemade quilt is as unique as the family, busy mother or Amish ladies group who uses a needle and thimble to thread stitch on the quilt. Some quilts involve hundreds of hours and thousands of stitches to create a unique patchwork quilt that will last for generations.
When you peruse our HOMEMADE QUILTS you are shopping for an item that tells a story and adds meaning to your bedroom! Discover more about our unique patchwork quilts and the stories behind them…

The Postage Stamp is a popular Scrap Quilt Pattern
Square and Applique Scraps compliment in this Country Hearts Quilt
A few Scrap Quilt variations.
Called a “charm” quilt in the late 19th century, young women collected hundreds of different fabrics from their family and friends. Perhaps if they collected 999 different squares, their true love would bring them the thousandth–and their happily-ever-after dream, too. One quilting blogger speculates that collecting these fabrics may have given girls opportunities to ask their love interest for a contribution!
The scrap quilt has also been called a “beggar” quilt, referring to quilters asking each other for contributions to their projects. Trying to put together a bedspread without repeating every fabric, they also called the quilts “odd feller” quilts–every piece was an odd feller. Some families recall their mother repeating one square, however, so that a child sick in bed might be entertained looking for the matching patches.
Still another name scrap quilts went by is the “postage stamp” quilt, so called because quilters would use their tiniest scraps, sometimes no bigger than a postage stamp. Perhaps the original motivation was not wasting the smallest piece (historians recall the scarcity of the Great Depression in this), but it also became a challenge at some point. Quilters would collect thousands of pieces to compete with each other in making stitched masterpieces.
Twin Sized Postage Stamp Quilt
Ancient Star is another Scrap Quilt Pattern
A color coordinated Scrap Quilt is an exquisite work of art!
The term handmade is generally used to define crafts created by an artisan in contrast to a factory. Each handmade quilt is special due to the fact that it is not mass-produced. Not all the stitching in a handcrafted quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter makes use of mechanical devices to develop his workmanship, our seamstresses use various devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her pieces with a rotating knife and stitch them together on the sewing machine. The quilter deals with merely needle, thimble, and string to quilt numerous small stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and talent to produce an item distinctly for you.
I just couldn’t leave Pennsylvania’s Amish Country without taking home a hand-quilted quilt from Family Farm Quilts. I looked through at least 50 options before deciding on this gorgeous Surf Song design.
I think it’s absolutely perfect in every way! <3
Thanks! The quilt is gorgeous and we cherish it.
I really love this quilt. I have such a great appreciation for all the work that went into the making.
We LOVE our quilt. What could be better than a hand-made heart quilt for Valentine’s Day. It will come out of the closet in a couple weeks or so and I’ll send a picture. Thanks.
Yes we absolutely love our quilt and use it daily. It was bought as a Christmas present to ourselves.
I hand the privilege of contacting Family Farm Handcrafts inquiring about a King Size Quilt. I first talked with a young lady by the name of Regina , who went out of her way to help me, which encouraged me and I did not look any further on the web to purchase. A few days later, I had the privilege of talking with Katie, who , although she did not have what I was looking for In her shop, went out of her way to help me come up with The Spin Star Quilt, in the colors I was looking for and in no time, this beautiful quilt was on its way to my daughter, who absolutely loved the quilt! Not only was the quilt beautiful, the price was great also! I guarantee you if you are in the market for a beautiful Amish quilt, hand made and at a beautiful price, plus they have someone who can make curtains or valances to match, you will want to contact Katie at Family Farm Handcrafts in East Earl Pa, near Lancaster, Pa. God Bless You Katie and may your business prosper!
I love my new quilt. The colors are so pretty! Thank you all so much. I know there are a lot of hours spent on it. ?
My husband loves the ocean, we live 1 hour away, so I bought this quilt “for him”. Our bedroom has several nautical items in it and is painted a sea foam blue. We love it and we pray for the quilter of the Sailor’s compass quilt nightly.
We used one of the two quilts for our guest room.
I love my purple Lone Star Quilt…it was a big investment for me! I bought a Twin size that was listed as fitting a Queen and it did (using my ruffle). Thank you for having accurate measurements and good photos AND updated notes on availability. I found one a couple of years ago on another site out in PA and I ordered it and my card was charged. Then, I was called to say it wasn’t available and would be 6 months if I wanted it made. Your emails were great and was surprised by the fast delivery. PS. My grandma made lots of quilts – log cabin, lone star and many others about 25+ years ago….your quality is on par with hers.
We absolutely LOVE our quilt!!! In fact, I have gone back to your site multiple times to see if I could find accent pillows and/or curtains to match!
A quilt is not only a comfy bed cover: it is also a piece of artwork. The artists that create our quilts choose high quality vibrant fabrics and arrange them in an eye-catching work of art. Select from our stock of over 2 hundred Amish handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly enhances your taste.
Although the fabric pieces are stitched with each other by machine to ensure tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those 2 layers, nonetheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat and outstanding washing outcomes.
Almost all of our quilts are generous enough to reduce the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights are different, each quilt's overall size is different. We list the quilt's measurements together with the determined drop for you to compare to the dimensions you are trying to find. Kindly do your homework ahead of your purchase!Fortunately, our quilts are certainly washable in a washing machine! We advise complying with these guidelines for ideal handling results:
